  15. Measures of consortium strength • Can a student take a whole program through the consortium without having to physically move between institutions ? • Can a student automatically or without much trouble transfer credits and courses from one institution to another within the consortium? • Does the consortium provide “one-stop shopping”, namely student services, registration, fee payment, at any single point • Do students have a much wider range of choice of courses, and at better quality, resulting from the consortium’s activities? • Can a student pay the same fee for the same kind of course irrespective of institution?
